EPA 180.1 Compliant for Reliable Water Analysis
Uses a tungsten filament lamp and 90° scattering method, fully compliant with U.S. EPA 180.1 for accurate turbidity measurement in tap water, drinking water, wastewater, and environmental applications.
Optimized for Low-Range Accuracy (<10 NTU)
The premium-quality tungsten lamp ensures superior sensitivity in low-turbidity samples; the lamp is user-replaceable for long-term reliability and cost efficiency.
TruRead™ Multi-Reading Mode
Automatically captures multiple consecutive measurements, then calculates and displays average, minimum, and maximum values with a brief report — providing the true turbidity of your sample, not just one random reading.
Safe, Stable EPA-Approved Calibration Standards
Includes AMCO high-molecular polymer standards (0, 20, 100, 400, 800 NTU) — EPA-approved, NIST-traceable, non-toxic, and guaranteed stable for one year without settling or precipitation.
Zero-Point Calibration with Error Reminder
Built-in zero turbidity calibration and error alert functions ensure consistent accuracy, especially critical for low-turbidity measurements.
Intuitive Multi-Language Color Display
Large TFT color screen with on-screen operation guides supports English, Spanish, and Chinese, making setup and testing effortless.
Extended Battery Life with USB Power
Rechargeable 3.7V lithium battery provides up to 20 hours of continuous testing — over 5× longer lifespan than standard meters. Recharge easily via USB charger or PC.
GLP Data Storage & Connectivity
Stores 200 sets of readings with real-time clock, calibration history, and USB data export to PC via the included PC-Link software for GLP data management.
Built for Field and Lab Environments
IP67 water-resistant housing, rugged construction, and smart auto power-off design make the TN500 perfect for demanding fieldwork and laboratory use.
